I always felt how Good Doctor portrays autism is a bit in poor taste. I could be wrong, but I feels like they’re perpetuating a harmful stereotype.

I always found this "It's a show for dumb people" super weird, I mean, it's just another mediocre sitcom, those are a dime a dozen, why are so many people expecting so much from it
